Air India will resume its direct flight route between Tel Aviv and New Delhi on December 1st, marking a return to regular operations in Israel. The airline plans to operate five flights per week on this route.
This route has experienced a history of intermittent service since the October 7th attacks. Air India initially resumed the Tel Aviv-Delhi line in March 2024, suspended it in April, returned in May, stopped again in August 2024, and resumed in March 2025. Service was halted once more in May 2025 following a Houthi missile strike near Ben Gurion Airport, and the airline has not operated regularly since.
Air India is currently the sole carrier offering direct flights between Israel and India. Previously, passengers traveling to India often relied on flights through Gulf states or connections in Europe. New Delhi also serves as a key transit hub for onward travel to East Asia.
The airline's fluctuating service reflects the security concerns and operational challenges faced by international carriers operating to Israel.
